I've dug through a few months of posts, and will probably continue to do so, but I thought that it might not hurt to see if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction for what I'm looking for:

Price range is below $17k max, preferably under $16k, so I'm looking at Coopers (no S) unless I happen to stumble upon an impressive deal. I'd also like it to be at least a 2003, but a 2002 with reasonable miles isn't out of the question.

The only options that really make a difference are the moonroof (pref. the full premium package) and the Harmon-Kardon sound system. I won't die without either.. but in being a claustrophobic musician.. both would be very nice.

Summary:
2003+ Mini Cooper under $16-17k, minimal options necessary, sun/moonroof and H-K sound preferred

I'm also closer to the west coast and am willing to go most anywhere between Washington (state) and New Mexico for the right car. Thanks for taking a look

 

did you see this one

BTW there are about 3 more in the forum for around 14k if you would take an 02

 

I did.. but no matter how I look at it, Ohio seems a bit out of my driving range. Thanks for the suggestion
